I bought a cheap but good deal electric guitar, Lyon by Washburn. Black, nicely finished and very neat. There’s no pickguard and the dots on the fretboard is on the top and kind of invisible because it’s so small. The guitar itself looks like Washburn OX11 …

Idioteque is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album Kid A. Opening up with an interesting and aggressive synthesizer part, Yorke soon comes in with the vocal delivery which has a vocal melody that does a very nice job of matching the rhythm behind him. Transitioning into …

Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …

The song Jolean was sung by Dolly Pardon. This song reminds me of how several men cheat on their wives and how the wives will fight to keep their man. I’m not sure of why the women would want to fight for a man that cheated on them because …

This song was for his film 8 mile and once you watch the film it all makes sense, but to me it all made sense prior to the …

The Lantern is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Parabola is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. Just as a note, Parabola follows a track known as Parabol on the album and it’s pretty much meant that you’re supposed to listen to Parabol and then Parabola because it leads right into this track, just …

I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …

Justin Bieber’s re-invention proved to be really a success. Ever since he dropped his big ego and spoiled-boy personality, hype built up around him until it was big enough for people to check out his music again.
For all we know, only teens were here for him before his comeback …

Starting with the album title, this CD has all the markings of a band that is representing a 12-step program. But, do not let that deter you from one of the best albums ever. Yes, I said ever.
Opening with “The Package”, Maynard (the lead singer), …

The Life Aquatic is a pretty good movie. I’m sure you’ll agree with me, especially if you’ve seen it. It follows well in the tradition of the Wes Anderson movies. And one of the hallmarks of his (or their) films is they always contain a stellar …

I recently rediscovered the grunge and hard rock band called “Pearl Jam”. They were one of my favourite bands in the early 2000s when I first started discovering my love for hard rock music and bands such as Creed, and Lifehouse. These days, I’ve begun to do some re-exploring …

Following up the lackluster 2006 release “The Information” should not be a difficult thing for loser iconoclast Beck, but “Modern Guilt” is yet another disappointing effort in a period of artistic decline that began with 2005’s “Guero”. It was in 2005 that Beck began to recycle ideas he had …

I just recently bought the 2009 Fender Stratocaster Standard (Made in Mexico) and so far I have few complaints. Fender is known for its quality and this stratocaster is no exception.
The coat on the guitar protects it from light scratches. It’s hit my belt buckle a few …

Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000 (Spanish Remix)”
Forever

Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack
Atlantic Records
Ah, I’m not so quite sure what they were thinking when they made this video. Don’t get me wrong, Aaliyah does what she does best, it’s just this video that is not ‘at its best’. Is it me or do all music videos …

This song by Stone Temple pilots off their latest self titled album release. It is the last fast rock type song on the cd before the album ends with the two ballads called Maver and Last Kiss on Mars. This song like the others is very catchy. It …

Free Bird is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad and is the penultimate track on their 2011 release, Knife Man. Though at first, I thought this might be some type of unorthodox cover of the iconic track from Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you can rest assured that this is another …
